1894KeithA

A fragment from the article by Keith A. The ligaments of the catarrhine monkeys, with references to corresponding structures in man (1894). The paper discusses the development, anatomy, and presence of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in various monkeys. The author found in an experiment that the gibbon's LCF strength is more than 11 kg. For reference: the black-handed gibbon (Hylobates agilis) can weigh up to 8 kg (wikipedia.org), and the white-handed gibbon (Hylobates lar) weighs 5-7 kg (sakhalinzoo.ru).

Ligaments of the Hip-Joint. – Professor Bischoff (1) observed that the ligamentum teres of the hip-joint was well developed in the Gorilla. This observation has several times been verified in the Chimpanzee: Owen (2) and Langer (3) found it absent in the Orang, although traces were present. In the Gibbon it is invariably present, and after the limb was severed from the trunk by all but the ligamentum teres, I found it sustained a weight of 25 lbs [11.3 kg]. without rupturing. Morphologically, it may be part of the general capsule of the joint, which has been cut off by the confluence of the lateral wings of the caput femoris, just as a part of the ligamentum posticum of the knee-joint would be isolated were the condylar extremities of the femur to coalesce. The whole of the femoral neck is included in the capsule; and as Owen (2) observed in the Orang, the anterior and inferior aspects of the neck are covered by synovial membrane. Cowper's baud, evidently of the same nature as the ligamentum teres, from which it has been separated by the confluence of the articular surface of the caput femoris, runs along the undersurface of the neck, adherent to the periosteum. A synovial mesentery binds the lower part of Cowper's band to the capsule of the joint.

Original in Russian is available at the link: Нижний портал , below is a machine translation edited by a non-native speaker. Inferior portal FOR HIP ARTHROSCOPY: A PILOT STUDY Arkhipov S.V., Independent Researcher, Joensuu, Finland Introduction Hip arthroscopy is considered a complex and expensive surgical procedure (2015SalasAP). However, it provides a dynamic and accurate assessment of the hip joint, and is recognized as the gold standard for diagnostics (2018JamilM_WittJ). Hip arthroscopy may be one of the last frontiers in sports medicine (2019MaldonadoDR_DombBG). Fig. 1. Compartments of the hip joint (schematic); the central compartment is highlighted in red, the peripheral compartment is highlighted in blue (from 1892PoirierPJ , unchanged). Traditionally, arthroscopic surgeons of the hip joint distinguish three compartments: the central compartment, the peripheral compartment, and the lateral compartment outside the joint, also known as the peritro...

Acetabular Canal. Part 3.

Acetabular Canal . Part 3 S.V. Arkhipov, Independent Researcher, Joensuu, Finland Abstract This article describes the space where the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) attaches and functions. See also Part 1 and Part 2 . The Significance of the Acetabular Canal The acetabular canal contains the main areas of attachment for the LCF (ligamentum capitis femoris). Its distal end attaches to the femoral head, while the proximal end connects to the fossa and notch of the acetabulum. The primary purpose of the acetabular canal is to ensure the normal functioning of the LCF. Normally, the LCF should not come into contact with the joint surfaces. Therefore, the length of the LCF should not exceed the diameter of the acetabular fossa, i.e., the diameter of the central section of the acetabular canal Its depth should be less than the thickness of the LCF. Figure 1. Lateral wall of the acetabular canal and LCF; the bottom of the acetabulum is removed (from 1908GrayH )...

Abstract of the article Alkalay D, Kollender Y, Mozes M, Meller I. Transarticular tumor invasion via ligamentum teres: A clinical-pathologic study of 12 patients (1998). The authors suggest that ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) is a potential route for potential route for transarticular spread of a tumor. Quote 1. Abstract We studied 12 patients who were operated on for malignant tumors in and around the hip joint. A correlative study, including preoperative staging studies and anatomical-pathologic aspects of the hip joint, was performed. in 4 of the 12 patients, we found direct histologic evidence of tumor invasion from the head of the femur through the ligamentum teres to the acetabular fovea and vice versa. It seems that the ligamentum teres is a potential route for transarticular spread of a tumor. External links Alkalay D, Kollender Y, Mozes M, Meller I.

Fragments from the book Gray H. Anatomy, descriptive and surgical (1858, first edition ). The selected passages of the "classical" anatomy of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) and original illustrations of Henry Carter. Quote p. 8 1 The cotyloid cavity or acetabulum, is a deep cup-shaped hemispherical depression; formed internally by the pubes, above by the ilium, behind and below by the ischium, a little less than two-fifths being formed by the ilium, a little more than two-fifths by the ischium, and the remaining fifth by the pubes. It is bounded by a prominent uneven rim, which is thick and strong above, and serves for the attachment of a fibro-cartilaginous structure, which contracts its orifice and deepens the surface for articulation. It presents on its inner side a deep notch, the cotyloid notch, which transmits the nutrient vessels into the interior of the joint, and is continuous with a deep circular depression at the bottom of the cavity: this depression...

Fragments from the book Cruveilhier J. The Anatomy of the Human Body (1844). The author discusses the anatomy and role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Quote p. 94 The head (i, figs. 49 and 50) is the most regularly spheroidal of all the eminences in the skeleton, and forms nearly two thirds of a sphere. In the middle of it we observe a rough depression (k) of variable dimensions, which gives attachment to the round ligament. Quote pp. 159-162 COXO-FEMORAL ARTICULATION (fig. 76). Preparation. Remove with care all the muscles that surround the joint, preserving the reflected tendon of the rectus femoris. The psoas and iliacus muscles, the synovial capsule of which so often communicates with the articular synovial membrane, must be removed with particular care. After the fibrous capsule has been studied upon its external surface, a circular division should be made round its middle portion, for the purpose of uncovering the deep-situated parts. This articulation is the ...

2016ArkhipovaAS Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements.

Classification of Joints with Flexible Elements The classification of joints with flexible elements was first proposed by A.S. Arkhipova in 2016 and presented at conferences in 2016-2017 ( 2017АрхиповаАС ). Joints with flexible elements are divided by the author into detachable and non-detachable, three-axis, two-axis, and single-axis. Each can contain in various combinations one or more external and internal flexible elements - analogs of joint ligaments, including the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF). Conditional designations of joints with flexible elements using the example of a ball joint: Detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an internal flexible element Detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Non-detachable ball joint with an external flexible element Detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Non-detachable ball joint with both internal and external flexible elements Flexib...
